Twig Ceremony

Equipment: A single twig and a bundle of twigs; American Flag

Begin by posting the colors at the head of the group and follow with this statement: "Scouters, I hold in my hand several twigs.You can see that one twig alone is easy to break (demonstrate by breaking a single twig in two), but when I put several twigs together, they are almost impossible to break (make an unsuccessful effort to break the bundle of twigs).There is strength in numbers.As a nation of people working together to preserve our freedom and heritage, we can keep our country strong.
